2nd Try

Here I am trying to restart my blog again.
Also trying to work through the new technologies blog spot.
Interesting I find blogging hard to do, compared to twitter which i am really enjoying.

Lets see if I make it to the finish line this time!

Cheers :)

Web 2.1

Here I thought I was finished with study and I am refreshing my web skills by participating in the new State library Web2.1 course.

I know I will learn so much more again and trying to remember it all will be the problem.

Museum Studies finished

Hi

i have finished my studies and find myself immersed in my children's lives, being a hockey mum.

The post grad course in museum studies had great content just with family and work it seemed to be forever competing for time and seemed to always come last.

where to now?

I am not sure but I know I will have fun

Mashups

How could I forget to add the mashup. They are lots of fun as you can see from my poster. This is a quick first attempt with more coming in the future. The jigsaw and mosaic aspects of Big Huge Labs http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/

Final Post about Web2.0 course

Hi all

WOW I am really publishing alot tonight. After going to the conference in Tamworth and listening to Chrystie Hill talking about Libraries using social tools I am really encouraged to reapproach my council and ask for more access to use social tools such as myspace and even blogs and twitter and answer boards and there is so much we can use to re-engage with our community. Thanks to the State library of NSW for offering such a great course it has really been great in introducing all the social tools now available in user friendly language.

Thanks

podcasts

Hi again

Tying up loose ends. A good site for podcasts is the war memorial website where you can download the tour podcast before you visit. http://www.awm.gov.au/podcast/index.asp

Also just went to an interesting seminar by MGNSW on convergence which is now available on line as podcasts http://mgnsw.org.au/archive/resources/conference_podcasts/11/

the talk by Bill McNaught from Puki Ariki was interesting

Hi all

Just got the post that I didn't blog about a couple of weeks. Oops.
The answer boards looked interesting especially the librarian s wiki. May have to look at being involved in this option.

Taking on too much

Guess what studying one subject a semester, working fulltime and having a life is very hard to do. especially if you are doing higher duties so guess what had to give... yes my blog has been left forgotten to look after itself. I am going to try and visit on a weekly basis ha ha I will try

One of my favourtie YouTube segments

Still going strong

Hi
Just learnt about wikis today. Very interesting I can see a lot of uses for them. In the museum arena I have just finished ethics and about to start legislation. Both courses are interesting and challenging.

Doing two courses at once

Hi

I am not only doing Museums Studies. I have also started doing an short online with the State Library of New South Wales. This week was learning about RSS feeds. Very interesting results.
The museum course is going well, I found a few museum based blogs that look very helpful.

Cheers

Welcome

Hi Everyone

Welcome to my new bog about me and my journeys from the world of libraries into the world of Museums. Believe it or not both worlds may look the same from a cursory glance, delve a bit deeper and you start to see the differences. Yes both worlds look after collections, but not only are the expectations of visitors different, the way we look after our collections in accessioning, processing/preserving are vastly different. After just starting a postgraduate course in Museum Studies I have been exposed to some interesting issues that affect Museums and "cultural' collections. Lots of hard but, interesting work ahead for me.

Cheers Goober
